Ocrasa is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus is mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia . If considered valid, the genus includes many species which were formerly included in Herculia . [1] In addition, the proposed genus Orthopygia, which some authors consider a separate (and sometimes monotypic) lineage is here merged with Ocrasa. The latter two genera are also mostly merged with Hypsopygia however.

The Eumaeini are a tribe of gossamer-winged butterflies. They are typically placed in the subfamily Theclinae, but sometimes considered a separate subfamily Eumaeinae. Over 1,000 species are found in the Neotropical realm

<i>Blastobasis</i> Type genus of moth family Blastobasidae

Blastobasis is the type genus of the gelechioid moth family Blastobasidae; in some arrangements these are placed in the case-bearer family (Coleophoridae) as a subfamily. Within the Blastobasidae, the subfamily Blastobasinae has been established to distinguish the Blastobasis lineage from the group around Holcocera, but the delimitation is not yet well-resolved.

Pseudatemelia subochreella is a species of gelechioid moths. Here, it is placed within the subfamily Amphisbatinae of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). The Amphisbatinae have alternatively been merged into the Oecophorinae, raised to full family rank, or placed as a subgroup of the Depressariinae.

<i>Taleporia</i> Genus of moths

Taleporia is a genus of small moths. It belongs to the bagworm moth family (Psychidae). The "wastebin genus" Solenobia is technically a junior synonym of the present genus, but most of the species formerly placed there actually belong to other genera of subfamilies Taleporiinae and Naryciinae.

<i>Hypsopygia</i> Genus of moths

Hypsopygia is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Though fairly small, they are large among their relatives. It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.

Herculia is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus is mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia. If considered valid, some species previously placed here are now in Dolichomia and Ocrasa, which in turn are also mostly merged in Hypsopygia. O. fulvocilialis is sometimes still placed in the present genus.

<i>Scythris</i> Genus of moths

Scythris is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is the type genus of the flower moth family, which is sometimes included as a subfamily in the Xyloryctidae, or together with these merged into the Oecophoridae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.

<i>Dolichomia</i> Genus of moths

Dolichomia is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1891. It is mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia or Herculia, which in turn is also mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia. Others sources retain it as a valid genus however.

Hypsopygia incarnatalis is a species of snout moth in the genus Hypsopygia. It was described by Zeller in 1847. It is found in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Greece.

Hypsopygia fulvocilialis is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It is found in Southern Europe, as far north as Hungary. It used to be placed in the genus Herculia.

<i>Hypsopygia glaucinalis</i> Species of moth

Hypsopygia glaucinalis is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It is sometimes placed in the genus Orthopygia either alone or with a few other species. Being the type species of Orthopygia, as soon as O. glaucinalis is placed in Ocrasa"Orthopygia" is abolished. To further complicate matters, Ocrasa is now mostly treated as a synonym or subgenus of Hypsopygia.

Hypsopygia repetita is a species of snout moth in the genus Hypsopygia described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1887. It is found in Australia (Queensland), New Guinea, French Polynesia, the Society Islands, the Solomon Islands and Japan.
